Relationship Renovation

Relationship Renovation is a workshop designed for all sorts of couples, from de-facto, engaged, newly married, or senior couples, which aims to assist them in understanding, and applying to their own relationship, the research about what makes a relationship work, versus what makes it deteriorate and ultimately fail.

 

Based on the Gottman ‘Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work:’ book by  John Gottman and Nan Silver, the program involves combined presentations, psychoeducation, presenter role plays, practical skills training and the opportunity to practice skills with your partner in a safe and private environment aimed at learning skills in the three key relationship areas:

  1. conflict management skills

  2. strengthening a couple’s friendship, intimacy, and emotional bond

  3. creating a couple’s sense of shared purpose and meaning 

 

What will be covered

These skills and techniques are supported by over 50 years of scientific research into relationships by award-winning relationship scientists Dr. John and Julie Gottman from The Gottman Institute.
